GUESS who is being roped into shore up the flagging fortunes of a popular comedy show? Suresh Raina, Shikhar Dhawan and Hardik Pandya, that’s who. The three cricketers were in Mumbai yesterday, and were at Film City last evening shooting for the show. A former Indian cricketer also joined them on the sets of the program. The producers are hoping that the presence of Raina and co. will provide a TRP boost to the show that has seen its ratings plummet after a much-publicised spat between two of its main stars.

█ Party time

QUEENIE Singh is having quite the time in Cannes. On Sunday evening, Singh was spotted with the likes of Kylie Jenner, and British design house founders Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo. Singh met them at a huge party thrown by a luxury watchmaker that had Bruno Mars performing and Rihanna in the audience.

█ Gym brats

SIDHARTH Malhotra, who is known for his passion for fitness and regularly posts videos while working out, has found a new gym partner. His dad and ex-merchant navy officer Sunil, who is currently in Mumbai, has been joining his son at his gym. And, by the looks of it, Sunil has been giving Sid, who is prepping for his next Aiyaary with Manoj Bajpayee, some competition in the fitness department.

█ Back-to-back business

AD Singh seems determined to perk up the ambience at BKC in Mumbai. The ace restaurateur has two launches lined up back to back this week out there. The first one is an East Villagestyle eatery extremely popular in Bangalore, while the other is the Mumbai outpost of his Japanese bar and cafe that has quite a fan following in New Delhi. Singh says the cafe’s designer, Anshu Arora Sen, spent some time in Japan before she set to work on the place. “It’s an all-day café that turns into a buzzing location at night,” says Singh, who especially recommends the chasu ramen and the pork belly.

█ Tailpiece

THIS young actor had a rather forgettable launch in 2015, and what’s worse, he was mired in a controversy even before the movie released. Now, while he has finally signed his second movie, which is reportedly based on a true-life incident, we have learnt that three young actresses, who were approached to star along with the actor, have all refused to work with him.
